    HDD life.

    Hey Sapao

    Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are inquiring about uninstalling games and reinstalling them and if this caused damage to the internal hard disk drive [HDD].

    The answers is, "No" this will not be causing your HDD any problems, however, it can be time and resource-consuming, so as sated by Xbox Forums Ambassador

    SilasLimaXb    , it is recommended to have an external HDD to alleviate this.

    As there is no further information that we can provide to you on this matter, we will now be locking this thread. If you have any other questions or concerns that differ from this matter, please, feel free to create a new thread and we will cater to you
    there.

    Thank you for being part of the Xbox Family and we wish you a wonderful day!

    I recommend you buy a 1TB external hard drive to solve this problem of having to be uninstalling games all the time.

    Hi Nessa for Life, sorry but you can't download games/updated for Xbox One with a PC on an external HDD, you must use your console.
